2008 FZ6 with 30k miles, bought used, pretty good condition, maintained well, runs smooth (or at least was the last time I rode it);
The bike was sitting for a few weeks in the garage, I took it out for a ride today, and noticed some rough-running at lower rpms, a stutter on acceleration, especially under load. I did a search of the forum and found topics ranging from bad-fuel to valve-clearance to electrical / ign. coils, but don't think that I read anything that I was related to what I am experiencing.
After riding around for an hour or so, it seemed to clear up, but it's too early to tell if the problem will persist. I suppose I'll have to take it out again to see.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar after letting the bike sit for a while? It was a hot day today, so I don't think it was a cold running issue, and I still noticed the rough-running after the bike had warmed up to running temp [160-180] degrees-F.
A fuel-filter beginning to clog was one of my first guesses; maybe ignition coils but it was running fine a few weeks ago the last time I took it out.. are there issues with the fuel-injection that I should know about (especially letting the bike sit for weeks at a time?)
Thoughts? Thanks!
